earthly delights: csa bounty week 2

here is this week's csa share from
~ earthly delights farm ~
forellenshuss romaine lettuce
pirat butterhead lettuce
red giant west indian mustard greens
mizuna bunch
red pac choi (it's really bok choi)
a mix of spinach, arugula, and purple orach (mountain spinach)
one long spring onion
broccoli (just a little)
rainbow chard
sage (for making sage butter - yum!)
easter egg radishes

it's all amazing,
but i want to share two of the highlights:

pirat butterhead lettuce
look how lovely it is!

and
purple orach
(a.k.a. mountain spinach)
we are familiar with this only because
casey & lori introduced us to it last year.
this is something that i never would have tried
or even heard of were it not for our beloved csa farm.
this has a mild taste that it very slightly salty.
it is really quite delicious & it MUST be good for us,
just look at the color!

Love the names these glorious vegetables have! I am literally saying "purple orach" out loud and delighting in how it sounds rolling off the tongue!
